Under the direction of SFI Professor Philipp Krueger from the University of Geneva, the Virtual Geneva Summit on Sustainable Finance highlights cutting edge sustainable finance research results.

The GSSF is going virtual this year but will hopefully return to its regular in-person format in 2021 with a larger program. The presenters will have 30 minutes to present their paper. The presentation will be followed by 10 minutes of presentation by the discussant, then 5 minutes of open Q&A with the virtual audience.
